Try this:

Add the line

p +myfont.map

to your local dvips.ps file, in
/fonts/dvips/config

syntax:

=========myfont.map===========
plb10     PLB10     <plb10.pfb
===========================

place in your local /fonts/dvips/config

for dvipdfmx: add

f myfont.map

to your local /fonts/dvipdfm/config config file.

dvipdfmx has a slightly different syntax, it includes encoding info:

=========myfont.map.dvipdfmx===========
plb10     texnansi    <plb10.pfb
===========================

place in your local /fonts/dvipdfm/config

This generally works for me. CAUTION: on Linux I've had problems because of
precise spelling (capitals versus lower case). so your map file entries must
match the case for your tfm files, etc.
